Tungsten is an effective

hardening element for Pt. Pt-W

alloys are used in biomedical

applications. Pt-W microcoils

can also be used in various

neuromodulation devices as

well as vascular/intravascular

applications.

- Material can be thermally and mechanically processed to meet tensile and elongation parameters- Spools are labeled with net and tare weight in desired unit of measure- Material characterization: chemical, mechanical and dimensional- Custom packaging and stocking programs available
